Praised be God that there is now a school of this type in Tihrán where
young maidens can, through His bounty, receive an education and with all vigour
acquire the accomplishments of humankind. Erelong will women in every field
keep pace with the men.

Until now, in Persia, the means for women's advancement were non-existent.
But now, God be thanked, ever since the dawning of the Morn of Salvation, they
have been going forward day by day. The hope is that they will take the lead
in virtues and attainments, in closeness to the Court of Almighty God, in faith
and certitude -- and that the women of the East will become the envy of the
women of the West.

Praised be God, thou art confirmed in thy service, art exerting every
effort in this work and taking great pains; and so, too, the teacher in the
school, Miss Lillian Kappes. Give her my most affectionate greetings.
